Additional training for Educational Visit Co-ordinators (EVCs)

OCC Educational Visits planning portal (eVisit 2.0) pilot

The first tranche of schools has now received training in the new system that will be used by all maintained schools in OCC.

Places are still remaining at the 2nd briefing and training event for the new eVisit 2.0 Educational Visits Planning Portal. By the summer term all maintained schools will be expected to submit their Category C plans for approval using this new system in place of the current Visit Notification system. The system will offer a more robust one-stop-shop for all categories of school visit as well as an on-line archive, easy access to National Guidance and automatic approval requests.

The event will take place from 9.30 – 12pm on Thursday 6 February at Hill End Outdoor Centre, OX2 9NJ.
